Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8-week yoga intervention on muscle strength, proprioception, pain, concerns about falling, and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design incorporating a pretest-posttest methodology and a control group was implemented in the present study. A total of 30 patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and neuropathy were recruited and randomly assigned to intervention ( = 15) or non-exercise control ( = 15). Yoga sessions were conducted for a duration of 60 min on three occasions per week, with participants requested to practice at home on other days.
Results: The results showed significant main effects of time on the muscle strength (both flexor and extensor muscles, < .001, ηp = 0.652 and < .001, ηp = 0.539, respectively), proprioception error ( < .001, ηp = 0.807), pain intensity ( < .001, ηp = 0.538), concerns about falling ( < .001, ηp = 0.700), and overall score of quality of life ( < .001, ηp = 0.475). Moreover, there were significant group-by-time interactions for all variables ( < .001 for all).
Conclusion: The study reveals that yoga intervention can be an effective alternative therapeutic approach to medication for individuals with diabetic neuropathy. Yet, future studies are needed on a larger sample size to strengthen the present understanding of the advantageous impact of yoga intervention in this population.

Background: While access and outcomes disparities for African American (AA) kidney transplant recipients are documented, there are limited studies assessing medication access disparities in transplantation. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes severe complications for transplant recipients, and we aimed to understand differences in access to CMV prophylaxis valganciclovir and its impact on CMV infection rates in AA transplant recipients.
Methods: This single-center, retrospective longitudinal cohort study examined high-risk (CMV serostatus D+/R-) adult kidney transplant recipients between June 1, 2010, and May 31, 202, through EMR abstraction.

Introduction: Population aging is a global concern, with the World Health Organization predicting that by 2030, one in six individuals worldwide will be 60 years or older. Ethylene oxide (EO) is a widely used industrial chemical with potential health risks, including associations with age-related diseases. This study investigates the relationship between EO exposure and biological age acceleration.

Dairy cows with a lower nitrogen excretion intensity (N) excrete less nitrogen, ammonia (NH) and nitrous oxide (NO), a highly potent greenhouse gas (GHG), per kg of milk produced and therefore represent a lower environmental impact while maintaining food security. To date, the genomics background of N is unknown. Here we performed a genetic association study, overlap analysis and functional enrichment analysis for N in 875 genotyped dairy cows with 2,147 lactations from 200 herds.

Background: Previous observational studies have reported that systemic cytokines are associated with the risk of inflammatory skin diseases, but their conclusions remain controversial.
Method: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to assess the relationship between systemic cytokines and six inflammatory skin disorders (including alopecia areata (AA), acne, atopic dermatitis (AD), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), psoriasis (PS) and vitiligo), based on datasets from EArly Genetics and Lifecourse Epidemiology (EAGLE) eczema consortium, acne GWAS conducted by Maris Teder Laving et al., IEU Open GWAS, and FinnGen database.
Article Synopsis
- In a study on children with Phenylketonuria (PKU), casein glycomacropeptide (GMP) was compared to phenylalanine-free amino acids (AA) as a protein substitute, focusing on digestion and overall health effects.
- Results showed that GMP significantly improved gastrointestinal symptoms like stomach pain and bloating, although it did not have a major impact on other health markers like renal function or oxidative stress.
- However, GMP's higher phenylalanine content poses challenges for use as a sole protein source in PKU kids due to their low tolerance for phenylalanine.
